Learning new things one step at a time

Alright so I’d like to make a clarification. After my previous blog, I experienced a chill flowing down my spine as I realized that perhaps the percentage of people that engage in investing is pretty small. It seems that so many young professionals, as I, abhor finance, therefore we avoid activities that involve budgeting expenses in Excel files or designating a certain amount for each category of expense. I just wanna say this: “I HEAR YA”. Red flags are constantly raised on this subject but believe me if you’re into starting a business or getting involved in any type of business related venture, be it consulting, or any type finance, sales or marketing type positions, then learning investing will only help develop such skills as it will guide you through certain concepts that can accelerate knowledge base and decision making. Issues such as on how stock price can affect the profitability or whether a business is an actual commodity and how to determine whether it is.

For instance, if you’re a financial consultant who specializes in advising non-profits and small corporations on how to control their budget and how to manage the various type of assets while managing liabilities, you would have to understand quite a chunk of the investing arena and how the markets can be impactual in such scenarios.

If you’re a sales & marketing professional, naturally you would have to understand the market you specialize in, as well as the markets your serve and how to investigate the key performance metrics to know whether a product would do well in a particular market. Studying the growth rates and the charts, graphs associated with it in-depth may not be necessary but it can help.

Furthermore, if you are a serial entrepreneur, committed to making money or conveniencing the citizens of your community or the world, then technically what you are doing is you are investing your money. And so investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate can only instill in you these business blocks of what it takes to actually invest your money in a start-up or franchise, or if you’d like to be the owner of a gym, restaurant, apartment complex. Just my thoughts….

Other than that, even if you’re not into business. You may still want to consider looking into investing as a viable option for accumulating bucks either for that sexy Camaro that’s been you’re dream car for sometime or a house by the beautiful lake side. Who’s knows you may even fall into the rythym.

If you agree with all of this or are an active investor, please like or retweet my post. Muchas gracias ;)!!
